Biography

Angela headshot

My fitness journey started with soccer at a very young age. I played all the way through my college years, but after that I had trouble finding ways to stay in shape. So I started going to the gym and discovered that I loved working with weights, doing body weight exercises, and running.

I found that weight training gave me confidence, in addition to producing great physical changes and health benefits. The strength and motivation I found in myself was inspiring, and I knew I wanted to help others do the same. 

I’m passionate about working with clients on goals like losing weight, adding muscle, and overcoming injuries. I especially love helping new people get started on their fitness journey, and watching them transform from beginners to workout warriors! 

I moved to Chicago in 2023, so when I’m not at the gym I’m exploring different parts of the city or walking my dog Luna at the lakefront!
